So with the lack of good stop-motion "films" (that I know of), I'm deciding to hopefully make a series of well-made stop-motion videos in an episodic fashion. I have a rough backstory and plot, but I don't want to start animating now with my little experience. I'm planning on making some short, 1 minute videos just to get more experienced in the field. But I'm wondering if any of you could supply me with some "tips 'n' tricks". Whether it be for stop-motion specifically, cinematography, or photography. I also would like to know if Sony Movie Studio Platinum alone is fine for stop-motion editing. Cheers, ~ Ben
